As has been pointed out, other viruses are claiming many, many more lives every year so what is it about this one ? Because they have no vaccine and it's global maybe mate ?

It’s arse about face to isolate the low risk majority. Life can’t just stop. Especially not for this poxy virus. Spot on.we can't stop the flu. So the chances of stoping this is slim surely.maybe impossible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tandors 888 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Could do with a world wide shut down for a month and get this knocked on the head along with potential other influenzas. I've read they are speculating that children are the reservoir but dont show symptoms so keeping people at home for a defined period could possibly work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not being arsy, just don't know of any. Just one stat that is to mind, seasonal flu kills on average 17000 people in England annually. A bad year will be 28000. But that disease is endemic, we are used to it. Epidemics are scary just because we haven't psychologically aclimatised and of course the severity is a bit unknown. The CDC have an info page on the history of pandemics, stats for each one. Imo this one is getting so much coverage because it's hitting the developed world I a fairly unpresidented way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trigger2 3,100 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Our kids school has come up with a bright idea of stopping after school clubs until further notice. The kids are allowed together from 9am to 3pm. So stopping the after school club from 3pm to 4pm will defiantly slow it down lol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
